Iron Dome Deployed to Ashdod over Rocket Fears

The IDF has deployed the Iron Dome missile-defense system to the southern city of Ashdod, over fears Islamist terrorists in Gaza could launch rocket attacks if Islamic Jihad hunger striker Mohammed Allan dies.

Allan's condition deteriorated Wednesday after more than 60 days of hunger striking. Doctors have said he is suffering from brain damage, although the extent is not yet clear.
